The insider's guide to the global fine wine market

Liv-ex will be unavailable this weekend

Please note that Liv-ex.com will be unavailable from Friday 25th May 6pm until Monday 28th May 8am (UK time).

During this time, a new version of Liv-ex will be launched. Almost two years in development, this is a major update that will provide Liv-ex members with a faster and more flexible trading platform, designed to handle increased levels of trade.

Improvements and changes to the current platform include:

• Consolidated view of live markets across different pack sizes and contract types

• Auto-updating of live markets (no more pressing refresh)

• Improved pricing mechanisms (including a new "Market Price") and a new trade ticker

• An updated design and streamlined user experience

• And many improvements to the Vine screens

As part of the re-launch, our cellar valuation tool, Cellar Watch, will be moving to a stand-alone website. All cellars that have been uploaded on Liv-ex will be transferred over to www.cellar-watch.com, which will also be launching on Monday.

We will be spending the upcoming months fixing, improving and optimising the site. Nevertheless, if you spot any bugs, or have any comments or questions, please discuss them with your contact at Liv-ex or Vine.
